The early coach services run from Dalby to Roma & Surat via the Range's Bridge
crossing to Dandine, Kogan, Wombo and Condamine Township.
The railway ran from Dalby, Macalister, Coorangah, Warra, Chinchilla Miles, Dulacca,
Yuleba to Roma. The line originally intended to follow the coach route but decided to
locate it away from the Condamine River to avoid the expence of building so many
bridges.
